Endovascular sono-lysis using EKOS system in acute stroke patients with a main cerebral artery occlusion - A pilot study

Original language description

Aim: Sono-lysis is a new therapeutic procedure for arterial recanalization. The aim of the study was to confirm the safety and efficacy of intravascular sono-lysis using EKOS system with 3F microcatheter EkoSonic and 2.05-2.35 MHz ultrasound frequencies.Methods: Nine patients admitted to the stroke unit with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) or basilar artery (BA) occlusion were enrolled to the study. Treatment using EKOS system started within 8 h after stroke onset. Neurological deficit on admission(using NIHSS), after 24 h and after 7 days, MCA/BA recanalization at the end of intervention, occurrence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH), and 3-month clinical outcome (using Modified Rankin score - mRS) were evaluated. Results: Nine patients were included in the pilot study (6 males, 3 females; age 51-80, mean 65+-10.4 years) with NIHSS 10-33 (median 19.0) points on admission. Five patients suffered from MCA occlusion, 4 patients from BA occlusion. Complete/partial recanal
